(Michigan City, IN) - A member of the Michigan City Common Council has resigned, as Dalia Zygus has now stepped down with only a few months left on her term.

 

Former La Porte County Commissioner Dr. Vidya Kora will serve the rest of her term, voted in last night by precinct committee members of the La Porte County Democratic Party.

 

Zygus held one of the at-large seats on the council.

 

Currently, Kora, a former two-term La Porte County Commissioner, is running for one of the at-large seats in the November general election.

 

Councilman Don Przybylinski offered these thoughts about Zygus during the most recent City Council meeting.

 

“I would like to wish Councilwoman Zygus good luck in her future endeavors and with her health.  Get well soon Dalia,” he said.

 

Przybylinski went on to describe her as being very congenial and professional in turn.

 

“She wore her job through her heart and she had a lot of good intentions,” he said.

 

Zygus took her seat on the council in March of 2020, appointed to replace Johnny Stimley following his resignation.

 

Kora is also a former member of the Michigan City School Board and once served two terms as La Porte County Coroner, in addition to a term as chairman of the La Porte County Democratic Party.
